The ingvalidpw Utility (UNIX)
In some environments, Ingres uses the ingvalidpw program (see page Ingvalidpw Program (Password Validation)) to validate user passwords. Ingvalidpw is used depending on the requirements of the platform where the password is validated. For example, the Ingres DBMS Server uses the ingvalidpw program to validate shadow passwords on UNIX or to enforce C2 security in some UNIX environments.
